Resources for your Globally-Mobile Family

MOVING ABROAD?

WE'VE COMPILED OUR FAVORITE RESOURCES FOR EXPAT FAMILIES.

We work online with families of all nationalities, many of whom are expats, living in countries other than their home country. Many of our parents are raising Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and learning how to navigate parenting while traveling the world, living in new or unfamiliar places, and learning about different schools, communities and social networks.
